It is trademarked and even their ad slogan! But beyond that, if they don't show that they have tried to protect their trademark they could lose it so it's probably just them doing that.  But on the other hand, it's unfortunate that they don't see the value in having people join in on the fun. There are some really smart companies out there that realize the potential and let their customers do stuff like that and then there are others that are, well, stupid. That would rather sue their customers rather than build relationships.  I still think it's a decent idea and some people might find it cute. Throw it up on a different domains...milkstashes.com? milkmoustaches.com? milkylips.com? I don't know if any of those are available but just to show you you can do it on a non-trademarked domain. Then all you have to worry about is being confused with some kind of porn site lol. To be honest, you can’t really blame them. It is trademarked and even their ad slogan!

Not like it got hundreds of hits from SEO LOL. Yeah were most likely going to take it down not really worth to fight for it. Not like it got hundreds of hits from SEO LOL.

What's Up Caesar & Nick?
